What It Means to Be Protestant

In What it Means to Be Protestant, Gavin Ortlund presents a robust defense of the Protestant tradition amidst a growing interest in sacramental and liturgical church practices. Drawing from his expertise in church history and ecumenical dialogue, Ortlund addresses contemporary misconceptions about Protestantism, showing that many objections stem from misunderstandings. He contends that historic Protestantism, grounded in the principle of semper reformanda, offers a viable path for Christians seeking historical rootedness while remaining anchored in Scripture as the ultimate authority. Through his thoughtful approach, Ortlund underscores the Reformation's relevance and the ongoing potential for self-reform within Protestantism.
